Wow.. a lot of response on one question. Anyway, I found the setting in ProFTPd and changed it so the one person that was trying to get in could get it. And now I just configured /etc/shells and added /bin/false, and that works also. Thank you for the help. It seems to have also sped up ProFTP as the login process was taking forever.
